Deadpool and Shiklah’s marital problems are set to reach a whole new level this March, as The Merc with a Mouth is forced to choose sides when Queen of the Monster Metropolis declares war on humanity in the six-issue crossover event Deadpool: Til Death Do Us…, which will run through the pages of Deadpool, Spider-Man/Deadpool and Deadpool & The Mercs for Money.
“In the first chapter of this we see the encroachment on the Monster Metropolis from above, from the surface world. Humans and monsters are not great neighbors,” states writer Gerry Duggan in an interview with Comic Book. “At the end of a long series of incidents of poor behavior on both sides, Shiklah decides she’s had enough. Even though she is coming to terms with Deadpool not being a great husband, she is also beholden to her people, so this is very much an act of preservation in her mind for her kingdom. It also will force Deadpool to make some choices. Are you with the soft pink surface dwellers or are you with your wife and her citizens back down below?”
Deadpool: Til Death Do Us… will get underway in the pages of Deadpool #28 in March 2017.
